Yeah, we started in actual Pershing Square, but bc we got there early (like 8:30), we ended up stuck there all morning because were surrounded by people on all sides. Once we could get out, around noon, we walked as far as we could toward home before waiting for a bus to take us the rest of the way.

I agree, it was amazing how awesome everyone was being despite the crowds being huge. We need more of that kind of community in our day to day lives.

god I went to the DC one and once they started trying to actually march I knew it was going to be bad news. There were just wayyyy too many people. We moved like a block before we just had to basically squeeze our way out of there

that's not accurate. more women than ever are running for office, countless resistance groups sprouted, this is a marathon not a sprint. try actually getting involved. people like you are the reason I have no hope for this country.

I think what was so spectacular about the Women's March in 2016 was that it was the biggest (and most peaceful) protest we've seen in ages. It helped kickstart and inspire women to take leadership positions and to continue fighting (resistance groups). I think it also showed Trump and the GOP just how powerful women can be. It might not have fixed any immediate issues, but this definitely had an impact.

Scarlett Johansson has said she stands by her decision to appear in an advertising campaign for the Israeli-based soft drinks company SodaStream, which has a factory in a settlement on West Bank.

Johansson denied her deal with the brand – which led to her quitting as an ambassador for Oxfam – was a mistake.

She said: “No, I stand behind that decision,” adding, in an interview with the Observer: “I was aware of that particular factory before I signed. And it still doesn’t seem like a problem – at least not until someone comes up with a solution to the closing of that factory and leaving all those people destitute.”

“In that case… I was literally plunged into a conversation that’s way grander and larger than that particular issue. And there’s no right side or wrong side leaning on this issue,” she added.

She said: “I think for a non-governmental organisation to be supporting something that’s a political cause… something feels not right about that to me. There’s plenty of evidence that Oxfam does support and has funded a BDS movement in the past. It’s something that can’t really be denied.”
